A few days have passed since the Arch Bish of C outraged the country with his poorly thought through comments on the adoption of Sharia law. Despite two e-mails from me he hasn’t resigned yet.
He should. He has shown himself to be inadequate at his primary role, protecting the Established Church of England.
If people want to settle disputes outside of the law they are free so to do. They can settle disputes by playing scissors, paper, stone for all I care, but they must accept that such settlements have no meaning within the law. If Muslims wish to settle dispute using Sharia that’s up to them, but if they do so in the UK they must accept that either party will still have recourse to the LAW if they disagree with the Sharia result. There can be no variation to the principle that there is one rule of law for all in this country.
The Arch Bish doesn’t seem to understand this bit.
Backtracking madly it seems the Arch Bish is now saying that he only wanted to stimulate debate etc etc. He just doesn’t get it does he? There’s nothing to debate. There can only be one law.
Lastly beware the PC brigade talking through their arses about the UK being a secular state. NO IT ISN’T. The UK may be a secular society, but, due to the combined role of Her Maj as Head of State and Head of the C of E the UK is a Protestant Christian state.
Perhaps he’ll resign before I finish posting this. Live in hope.

Yes please resign Mr Welshy. I have just thought though, Nick, he's friends with the Labour lot and we all know how they never leave.
We live in hope.
